Hi,
Using "require" to load a javascript utility in vertx, is it possible to reload a such a module loaded with "require"? If I change the file, and the reuqire it again, the changes are not loaded (this is a good thing as it avoids IO). But, what if I need to change the javascript code that is loaded with require? Is the only way to restart vertx? Or is there another way to do it?

No, as with NodeJS the require function caches code as per commonjs definition.
